Subject:Throttle cable
From:John Schaper
Date:Tue, 22 Feb 2000 07:49:30 -0800

I did something stupid that broke my throttle cable.  With the rpm's at 2000
at a stop light I used my toe to try to bring the accelerator pedal back to
reduce the rpm's.  (I know it is probably the throttle switch).  Anyway, it
broke, but since it was dark and I couldn't investigate further, I don't
know what broke.  Has anybody done anything similarly stupid?  What broke,
what do I need to replace--my guess is after looking at Bentley is the
"relay lever", "pin", or clamping bold.  I looked at the engine accelerator
cable and it is OK, the cable is still attached.  Any help would be
appreciated.
